Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 According to the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of ageing, natural selection has favoured genes conferring short-term benefits to the organism at the cost of deterioration in later life. The 'disposable soma' theory expresses this as a life-history strategy in which somatic maintenance is below the level required to prevent ageing, thus enabling higher

MARK-AGE biomarkers of ageing [PDF]
Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 2015 Many candidate biomarkers of human ageing have been proposed in the scientific literature but in all cases their variability in cross-sectional studies is considerable, and therefore no single measurement has proven to serve a useful marker to determine, on its own, biological age.

Repeat length of C9orf72-associated glycine–alanine polypeptides affects their toxicity
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2023 G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansions in a non-coding region of the C9orf72 gene are the most common cause of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Age and Ageing: An Overview [PDF]
Occupational Medicine, 2000 Europe is ageing, as exemplified by the UK population where, in the foreseeable future, more people will be over than under age 50: industry appears slow to recognise and appreciate all that older workers still have to offer: bundling them off into early retirement wastes precious talents. Memory difficulty is not an inevitable part of ageing.

Feedback between p21 and reactive oxygen production is necessary for cell senescence
Molecular Systems Biology, 2010 Cellular senescence—the permanent arrest of cycling in normally proliferating cells such as fibroblasts—contributes both to age‐related loss of mammalian tissue homeostasis and acts as a tumour suppressor mechanism.
